Water play


***

Velvety emerald waters
bubble alluring temptations.
Sun inspired words tremble
upon wiggling wave-toes.

I stand intrigued
at the vain shoreline.
Leisurely it offers its bare skin
to the constant caressing
of daring sea fingers,
releasing silent sighs
into the air.

With half closed eyes
I let my brain engage in
deciphering the poem
- a poem it is I know! –
which dances its crazy dance,
fragmented in puzzle pieces,
upon the sparkling surface
of the playful liquid vastness.

Blindfolded by the sun,
with the intermediation
of my heart on high alert,
I feel the wet words
touch my thirsty lips.
From there they swiftly slip
into my consciousness.

Then I just do as I am told,
for my love knows no hesitation.
My toes meet yours
in the underwater world.
We move like sinuous algae
and disappear within each other.
The elements gather in wild
celebration of our desire.

Never our merging
had been so cool,
for naturally ...
the poem was about fire.

Yo dear Margherita,

You make me want to go to the shore, it's about fifty miles away.

I make it there at least once a year.

Love Bobby

Margherita - dang, this has to be the best poem of yours I've read. So different from what I've seen, and I like the style, and underneath romance it radiants. Great write...

A melding of water and fire,
makes for quite a sizzle,
in any language,
